"People will argue with you that getting what you want in life isn’t something you can learn, if you’re destined to be one of the worlds winners as opposed to one of its perpetual whiners, its because you have been born with the right talents and temperament and have a big dose of self-esteem, ambition, and good judgment." Kate White

Thanks you guys! Now I know what to expect. I'm glad my husband won't be looking over my shoulder - I know that I will have a ton of embarassing experiences between now, the surgery, and after the surgery, but I'd like to control what I can. He's easily distracted - I can do the point and say "hey, isn't that Pamela Anderson???" - that'll get his eyes off the scale momentarily.

I will get there early (thanks for the heads-up on that, too!) I've waited this long, don't want to get locked out! I don't think I can wait another month for the next seminar - I just want to GET GOING!

Looks like you got the 411 already, just want you to feel comfortable with your first visit. My hubby came with me and he did not go to the back office to get weighed.
I remember seeing people being called in and I asked this one girl why and she said to get weighed. I sank and cringed. She was considerably larger than me, and offered a sympathetic "if I can do it, so can you!!! "
The nurse was kinder than she and made me step on the scale 2 times as she did not think I really weighed 285 lovely chunky pounds. Alas, both times it was true.

Sometimes us post opers attend one of these meetings, now that I am 10 months out and down most of my weight I may attend and keep you company....any one else!!!

Good luck! Do not be afraid, it is a new adventure and the journey is a blast!!!
